  • Applications

    Propyl oleate is primarily used as an emollient and solvent in cosmetics and personal care formulations, serves as a fragrance carrier and solvent in perfumery, and acts as a plasticizer for polymers and coatings; it also functions as a solvent or base oil in cleaning and household products, and may be used as a vehicle or intermediate in chemical synthesis.
